Stroke-prone SHR (SHRSP) are regarded as being proper animal models for stroke in man (Yamori et al: Clin Exp Pharmacol Physiol (Suppl) 3: 199, 1976, Handa et al: In "Spontaneous Hypertension" 294, DHEW Publication No. (NIH) 77-1179, 1977). Studies on the pathogenesis of stroke confirmed the pathogenic importance of arterionecrosis in stroke in SHRSP; cerebral bleeding is caused by the rupture ...

We develop a general method for power spectrum analysis of three dimensional redshift surveys. We present rigorous analytical estimates for the statistical uncertainty in the power and we are able to derive a rigorous optimal weighting scheme under the reasonable (and largely empirically verified) assumption that the long wavelength Fourier components are Gaussian distributed. We apply the form...

The traditional view of forest dynamics originated by Kira and Shidei [Kira T, Shidei T (1967) Jap J Ecol 17:70-87] and Odum [Odum EP (1969) Science 164(3877):262-270] suggests a decline in net primary productivity (NPP) in aging forests due to stabilized gross primary productivity (GPP) and continuously increased autotrophic respiration (Ra). The validity of these trends in GPP and Ra is, howe...

CYP2C8 plays important roles in metabolizing therapeutic drugs and endogenous compounds. Although genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C8 were reported, there is little information on CYP2C8 polymorphisms in the Japanese population. In the present study, we screened for previously described polymorphisms in the coding region of this gene using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length...

many qtls related to agronomic triats have been registered in soybean (glycine max) by different research groups during the last decade. due to the interaction effects of qtls, environmental and genetic backgrounds on the emergence of qtls and also to confirm the previous results as well as to identify new qtls, further studies are still required. in order to map qtl which control some agronomi...

Predictions are often made stating that Businessto-Business (B2B) endeavours will grow in numbers extremely fast, but little is known about realworld standards usage and implementations (Chan and Swatman, 2002; Edifecs, 2000). B2B refers to “...the use of the Internet and Web-technologies for conducting inter-organizational business transactions.” (Teo and Ranganathan, 2004). It is focused on s...
